Slightly off-topic: I read an article in which Warren Buffet gives advice for achieving success, and one of his recommendations was banning the phrase "we tried that and it didn't work," because it kills constructive thinking.
Indeed, that is a good point. But when you propose something, be prepared to be told reasons why it may not work. Especially if it's something that we have, literally, already done, and the players despised it.
